Charge exchange, the neutralization of ions by electron capture as the ions traverse matter, is a well-known phenomenon of atomic physics which is relevant to ion microscopy. In conventional transmission ion microscopes, the neutral component of the beam after it emerges from the specimen cannot be focused. The scanning transmission ion microscope (STIM) enables the detection of this signal to make images. Experiments with a low-resolution 55 kV STIM indicate that the charge-exchange signal provides a new contrast mechanism to detect extremely small amounts of matter. In an early version of charge-exchange detection (fig. 1), a permanent magnet installed between the specimen and the detector (a channel electron multiplier) sweeps the charged beam component away from the detector and allows only the neutrals to reach it. When the magnet is removed, both charged and neutral particles reach the detector.

During in-situ radiation damage experiments aiming on the investigation of vacancy-migration properties interstitial-type dislocation loops are used as probes monitoring the development of the point defect concentrations. The temperature dependence of the loop-growth rate v is analyzed in terms of reaction-rate theory yielding information on the vacancy migration enthalpy. The relation between v and the point-defect production rate P provides a critical test of such a treatment since it is sensitive to the defect reactions which are dominant. If mutual recombination of vacancies and interstitials is the dominant reaction, vαP0.5 holds. If, however, annihilation of the defects at unsaturable sinks determines the concentrations, a linear relationship vαP is expected.Detailed studies in pure bcc-metals yielded vαPx with 0.7≾×≾1.0 showing that besides recombination of vacancies and interstitials annihilation at sinks plays an important role in the concentration development which has properly to be incorporated into the rate equations.

Glyphosate (GP) is a widely used herbicide worldwide, yet accumulation of GP and its main byproduct, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in soil and water has raised concerns about its potential effects to human health. Thermal treatment processes are one option for decontaminating material containing GP and AMPA, yet the thermal decomposition chemistry of these compounds remains poorly understood. Here, we have revealed the thermal decomposition mechanism of GP and AMPA by applying computational chemistry and reaction rate theory methods. <br>
